“Captain America: Civil War” Now the No. 1 Movie of 2016 at the Global Box Office

After nabbing $5.9 million from domestic theaters and $8.9 million from international screens yesterday, “Captain America: Civil War’s” total gross has reached $971.9 million — making it the highest-grossing film of 2016 at the worldwide box office.

According to Forbes, Disney’s “Captain America” sequel has surpassed the studios’ animated hit, “Zootopia” — which currently has a $971.036 million total gross — at the international box office. Domestically, “Civil War” is still behind “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” ($328 million) and “Deadpool” ($362 million), but it’ll likely pass both films within the week.

In terms of the all-time domestic record for Marvel films, “Civil War” is still well behind “Avengers” ($896 million), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” ($947 million) and “Iron Man 3” ($806 million), but it’s only been in U.S. theaters for about two weeks.
